Gabapentin + Methylcobalamin + Nortriptyline Uses

Gabapentin+Methylcobalamin+Nortriptyline is used in the treatment of neuropathic pain.

How Gabapentin + Methylcobalamin + Nortriptyline works

Gabapentin + Methylcobalamin + Nortriptyline is a combination of three medicines: Gabapentin , Methylcobalamin and Nortriptyline. Gabapentin is an alpha 2 delta ligand which decreases pain by modulating calcium channel activity of the nerve cells. Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B which helps in the production of myelin, a substance that protects nerve fibers and rejuvenates damaged nerve cells. Nortriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant which increases the levels of chemical messengers (serotonin and noradrenaline) that stop the movement of pain signals in the brain. Together, they relieve neuropathic pain (pain from damaged nerves).
